====== Import Message Bases (by datafile analysis) ====== 

The '[Import_MessageBase]' stanza tasks MUTIL with scaning the message base directory, and creating any messages bases inside of Mystic that have data files in the directory.

To enable this function you modify the '[general]' stanza as follows:


  [general]
  
  Import_MessageBase = true
  
When using this function you should decide if you want it to search subdirectories in your message base directory for additional data files to discover.
  
  search_subdirs = true

Then there are several default values you can define before using this function.

	; The following options define the "default" values used when creating
	; new message bases.  netaddress must match an exiting network
	; address configured within Mystic BBS.  default values are also
	; taken from the system configuration for origin line, colors, etc.
  
	netaddress     = 1:1/1
	acs_list       =
	acs_read       =
	acs_post       =
	acs_sysop      = s255
	header         = msghead
	read_template  = ansimrd
	index_template = ansimlst
	max_msgs       = 500
	max_msgs_age   = 365
  
	; network type (0=local, 1=echomail, 2=newsgroup 3=netmail)
  
	net_type = 1
  
	; true/false type values 0=false 1=true (newscan 2=forced)
